2. We are having lots of students stopping in the clinic throughout the school day without giving notice to their teacher. Our school protocol is for the student or teacher to fill out an online form when needing to see the school nurse. The nurse will then call for that student to come to the clinic. There are privacy concerns that prevent the school nurse from having multiple students in the clinic at the same time. Students should only come to the clinic without notice when taking a scheduled medicine or in the case of an emergency.
